Advanced Female Age

As a woman ages, the chance of having a healthy baby decreases. This is partly due to aging ovaries having fewer eggs to release. The eggs are also aging, which may affect the egg quality. Compared with a younger woman, it is more likely that an older woman's eggs are unable to go through the normal cell division that results in a healthy, thriving embryo. She is less likely to get pregnant, more likely to have a baby with abnormal chromosomes, and more likely to miscarry even if the developing fetus has normal chromosomes.

The following human reproduction circumstances may qualify you for participation:

• Advanced Female Age
• Poor Ovarian Response to Prior Stimulation
• Age - Inadequate Response to Prior Stimulation
• Multiple Failed IVF (in-vitro fertilization) Cycles
• Immunological Disease

Treatment:

As a participant in RGI/IHR Infertility Program, your treatment will be individualized to your special circumstances. We are proud to have become known as the "programs of last resort". Even some of our human reproduction competitors refer their poor prognosis patients to RGI. They know that we will give them a chance.

Treatment Value :

Most fertility centers will not accept patients into treatment if their chance of conceiving is judged to be improbable. At RGI's / IHR we believe that our principal responsibility is not to our program statistics, but to our patients. We strongly believe that the well-informed couple, who fully recognizes their low chance of conception but still wishes to conceive, is entitled to receive their desired treatments.
